Kiev, August 24 (HS). Ukraine has claimed to have used American glide bombs in Russia's Kursk region and recaptured the eastern region of Kharkiv. However, Russia had launched a major offensive in Kharkiv. Ukraine's Air Force Commander Lieutenant General Mykola Oleschuk released a video on Thursday night, showing an attack on a Russian platoon base in the Kursk region. He said that the attack with GBU-39 bombs caused Russian casualties and destroyed equipment. The video showed several explosions and a cloud of smoke rising from the scene.
Another assault brigade of the Ukrainian army said in a statement that its troops had advanced about two square kilometers in the Kharkiv region. However, it did not give information about when the attack was carried out and what was the area of the attack. It is difficult to predict whether this will have a further impact on the battlefield or not.
Ukraine's alleged retaliatory strikes in the Kharkiv region come as its forces have shifted battlefield dynamics this month. Kiev launched an offensive in Russia's western Kursk region on August 6, while also stepping up drone warfare against military and fuel targets. Russia claimed heavy losses in these attacks. Few new details emerged on Friday about the damage and casualties from these attacks.
Satellite images analysed by The Associated Press on Friday showed that a Ukrainian drone strike caused extensive damage to a remote Russian airbase in the Volgograd region that reportedly housed glide bombs used by Moscow in the war.
Meanwhile, 13 people were injured in an attack on a cargo boat at the Kavkaz port in Russia's Krasnodar region on Thursday, Russian state news agency TASS reported on Friday.
The morale of Ukraine's soldiers is high due to its recent gains in the war.
Ukraine and its Western allies hope that this advantage against Russia will strengthen Kiev's position on the diplomatic front.
